Part 10
The petite female vampire was quick. And the male were very protective of the human. The human did not seem surprised by the vampire's movements. She knew what they were.
It only made Phoebe more aggressive as she fought. When fighting vampires it was essential to be observant and it paid off. When a blonde male attacked Phoebe from behind, she countered and sent him flying into the house, glass shattering and wood splintering.
There was no time to relax as another male appeared and attacked. He was strong, but Phoebe managed to shake him off, backing away from the house to get a good view of her opponents.
There were seven vampires. Phoebe had fought against three once and she had barely made it out alive. She watched them and they watched her. When she shifted so did they. Phoebe thought she might take two of them down with her.
"Phoebe." Jacob had arrived. "Don't." She growled at him, keeping her eyes on the vampires, but she didn't attack them. She still could, but there was something wrong with this picture.
How the vampires only looked on and waited. But for what? Realization hit her then. They knew. Phoebe turned her gaze to Jacob, standing ten feet away.
"You knew?" She asked as she stalked around him. There was a new fire in her blood. It was different than the hatred for the vampires, it was the fire of betrayal.
"You knew they were here?" She asked again.
"Yes." Jacob answered. He was on his guard.
"You're younger than I thought. A naïve little whelp." She retorted angrily.
"Phoebe, I can-"
"Explain?" Phoebe scoffed. "You'll do more than that." She crouched and lunged at him as the other wolves appeared. They didn't interfere, it was the human who screamed.
"Jake!" The girl screamed. "Edward, do something!" No one moved. The human called for Sam two make them stop. She pleaded and struggled against the hold the vampires had over her.
Phoebe lost her breath when one of the vampires threw a rock that hit her in the chest. It was all Jacob needed to get the upper hand, but Phoebe still had some tricks up her sleeve.
She pretended to be hurt and Jacob immediately changed. Phoebe whined as she lied down and Jacob lowered his guard. When he checked to see if she was alright she struck.
Phoebe felt the surprise when her jaws got a hold of his neck, biting down hard as he scrambled away, trying to get rid of her. The human screamed again.
Phoebe saw how the wolves moved and bit down harder causing Jacob to howl in pain. He continued to struggle, but he was losing his strength.
"STOP!" Phoebe did. She wanted to fight, but she couldn't. Jacob saw to that. She fought against his order, but she was forced to the ground baring her throat to him.
She didn't take her eyes off him, making sure he could see and feel what she felt. The pain, being trapped and made into nothing.
"Don't move." He said and stepped away only to appear a moment later as human.
"I hope you have a leash on your friend, dog." The blonde female vampire said. Phoebe growled, but stopped after a look from Jacob.
"I'm sorry. This won't happen again." Jacob said, the tone of his voice was sad.
"Jake." The human girl said and took a step forward. The vampire she called Edward stopped her, but then let her go. Phoebe watched in horror as she ran to Jacob and embraced him. Jacob didn't stop her.
"I'm fine Bella." He said. Phoebe couldn't stop the whine from coming out, it was clouded in pain, sorrow, confusion and betrayal. Jacob stepped away from the girl as if he'd been stung.
"Jake?"
"Bella." Edward the vampire warned.
"Jake, what's wrong?" She asked. Phoebe started shaking but she couldn't take her eyes of Jacob. "Jake?" Every time the girl said his name, Phoebe felt a million times worse.
"Leave it Bella." Sam said. He had phased. Leah was close to Phoebe, the other wolves looking at the scene in front of them.
"Take Phoebe and go." Sam said. Jacob nodded and phased.
"Alpha?"
"Wait, Jacob-" The girl started. The shaking got worse.
"You need to leave, now." Sam cut her off. Jacob slowly made his way over to Phoebe.
"Jac-"
"You're not helping, Bella!" Sam hissed. "Get them out of here now!" He ordered his pack.
Phoebe woke up lying in a bed. She didn't remember phasing. Everything hurt, but most of all her heart. Leah was sitting close by.
"Leah…" She whispered. Leah's head shot up, her eyes red from crying.
"We thought we'd lost you." She sobbed.
"Why are you crying?"
"You've been unconscious for days." Leah explained.
"What happened?"
"You don't remember?"
"I remember running. Catching the scent of the leeches. Fighting leeches, fighting Jacob… then nothing." Phoebe said. "Where is he?"
